1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In recent years, new orthopaedic surgical simulation and virtual reality (VR) training models have emerged to provide unlimited education medium to an unlimited number of trainees with no time limit, especially in response to trainee work-hour restrictions. Surgical simulators range from simple wooden boxes to animal and cadaver models to three-dimensional-printed and VR simulators. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic further highlighted the need for at-home learning tools for orthopaedic surgical trainees. Advancement in simulating shoulder and knee arthroscopies using VR simulators surpasses the other fields in orthopaedic surgery. Despite the high degree of precision needed to operate at a microscopic level involving vessels, nerves, and the small bones of the hand, the simulation tools have limited advancement in the field of orthopaedic hand surgery. This narrative review summarizes the status of surgical simulation and training techniques available to orthopaedic hand surgical trainees, factors affecting their application, and areas in hand surgery that still lag behind their surgical subspecialty counterparts.
